TUCSON, Ariz. – Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), announced the sale of Equinox on Prince, a 114-unit multifamily asset in Tucson, Arizona. The property sold for $21.1 million, which equates to $185,088 per unit.
Clint Wadlund, IPA senior director, and IPA’s Hamid Panahi, Steve Gebing and Cliff David represented the seller, Waahe Capital, and procured the buyer, Vertical Street Ventures.
“Waahe Capital produced a strong investment return through large capital infusions into interior renovations, common area enhancements, effective rebranding and enhanced community marketing of the Equinox brand,” said Panahi. “Vertical Street Ventures will continue to increase their investment upside through continued multi-tiered interior renovations and capitalizing on Tucson’s macro trends, most notably the city’s multifamily housing supply and demand imbalance,” added Wadlund.
